A few nights agowe overheard some farmers, at thenancock Hotel, who live in WesternKentucky, diactiasing corn growingtelling how many barrels were grown,to the acre in their section, which wasfully double the yield here. "How is Jit done?'' some one asked. "By using jfertilizers.' Our farmers in Western 'r Kentucky use two hundred pounds to 'the acre, and if it was done4iere you ,Suit probably will be institutedagainst county Sheriffs who havebeen taking 'fees out o'f school taxescollected by them.

The sherilT isentitled to 10 per cent, of the first$.3,000 lie collects and 1 per cent.of Che i Fallsbalance; but the Court of Appeals has Jhel d that none of this may come oil"the school tax, which must be turned Iin intact, and the Sheriff must take 'his fee out of the county 'funds.

Adair, Russell, Taylor, Larue, Metcalfe and Green counties were all represented at the sale, and about 75,000pounds of tobacco were sold at pricesranging from $3.40 to $10.75.This sale demonstrates that at allfuture Sales there will be a full corpsof buyers, including the AmericanTobbacco Comuany, exporters, different manufactures and SDeculators.It was freely admitted by tobacco menfrom Louisville that the Greensburgmarket was fully up to that of theCity; there was no shippingmargin.The crowdCtho Miller.Nell Hancock.Sam Smith.Creel Beck.Stelhi Antle.Mary Winfrey.Wallace Coffey.Corine Breeding.Arthur Bradshaw.Allen Eubank.EIGHTH GRADEVirginia Coffey.Sallie Coffey.X1NTH GRADE- Rex Holladay.Clay Smith.Kate Cooper.TENTH GRADERuth Paull.Kate Gill.Smith Gill.ELEVENTH GRADELeonora Lowe.Nellie Tarter.xThe Ladies Missionary Society ofthe Methodist church will serve refreshments, consisting of cakes, pies,hot chocolate, home made candy etc.,at Mr. Geo.

N. Coffey, County Road Engineer, has just returned from Casey's Creek and Pclleyton. His objectin visiting these localities was to lookafter the public road conditions.Starting from Columbia he found theroad only passible until lie reached thosection over which Mr. Hardin Cundiff is the Overseer. Mr. Coffey statesthat Mr. Cundiff has the road .underhis charge in fine "shape. The nextsection of road after leaving Mr. Cundiff took him to the Plum Point,Bridge, and is in fairly good condition,but not so well worked and looked after as that under Mr. Cundiff.After crossing the Watson Bridge,he found a section of road in very badcondition. Tiie overseer, does not!know who he is, seems to haveresting on his hoe.The next piece of road was that under charge of Mr. Tom McDcrmont.He found this piece in fine condition,the overseer evidently being interest- jed in bettering the condition of ourpublic highways.Leaving Mr. McDermout he went to jPellyton via Dunbar hill. On thishill the county spent five hundreddollars, but since that expenditure ithas been neglected. There are wash-outs, making it almost impassable, jxnere is a section oi roau in tins immediate locality that seems to havebeen overlooked entirely by the qverseer. Leaving this locality he went toPellyton, and en route round the bestpiece of road in the county, showingthat the overseer is enterprising. AtPellyton he found every body deeplyinterested in road building, and readyto do their part. On this side of theriver, Little Cake precinct? he foundthe road under charge of Josh Beard,in good shape. The road under JimMcQueary he found in excellent condition, showing Mr. McQueary to bean intelligent workera man who understands Iioav to use tools and to ssethat they are used by men in his jurisdiction.
